How does Banshee1.0 compare to Exaile? I've gone back and forth over different players for a while, I last recall trying Banshee on Ubuntu Dapper, so its been a while. I think I quit using it due to crashing while scanning my library, which sounds like its fixed now. One of the main reasons for using Exaile, is that even with a media library, you can browse the file system for songs that have not been scanned. I like to have the ability to play files with them in my media library, for podcasts and such that I'll be deleting after one listen through. Does banshee have a way to browse folders? Or do you have to have the music in your library to listen?

I always forget my iptables stuff but I think you have to insert the rule and not append it (otherwise it will go after the drop rule and therefore will never get to the one you made) and I think you have to make two rules, one for each protocol.

deong posted:How does Banshee1.0 compare to Exaile? You can click file->open location. That will give you the 'open' dialog to play throw away single files. Banshee really is trying to be a GNOME media player, so like rhythmbox they expect you to use totem to play single files. The cool thing about banshee1.0 is that it is not just a music player. They are making it a media player by adding video support(handled like music). I guess its good for large music video libraries or alot of TV shows.

chryst posted:Tar by itself doesn't compress, and you should get a near 1:1 size. Thats what I thought, tar just encapsulates everything. so I took off the -z switch and the back ups are about 5.3 gigs now. Thats still about 4.4 gigs too small. My backup script is pretty simple and backs up EVERYTHING but a few directories and of course the drive containing the backup.

Continuing my earlier post, it seems as though it isnt command driven but driven by the "Linux Firewall" in webmin. Do I enter things in Prerouting, Outgoing packets, or Packets after routing in the NAT Iptable? I went to Packet Alteration and went to the Input section... but for everything the Default Action is set to Accept, so wouldnt it already be allowing this poo poo?

This is what it looks like. As I said before I'm trying to forward Xbox Live's ports (UDP 88, TCP/UDP 3074) to all IP's on our network. The 192.168.1.189 is my xbox's IP, which I was trying for shits and giggles but didnt work.

Getting the list of files is good, because you can see what file it choked on, and figure out what's wrong. Alternatively, if it's not choking, you can diff that file against a "find /", and see what tar is missing. Actually, probably pipe stderr to that as well to catch tar failing, so > /backupmnt/backup.log 2>&1. Or just watch the script to see what happens. It's also a good idea to exclude /dev and /tmp, since tar can choke on device files and sockets. Mr. Eric Praline fucked around with this message at 00:04 on May 1, 2008 |

Munkaboo posted:This is what it looks like. No, you've got to put the entries into the PREROUTING chain. Basically, the difference with simply opening ports and forwarding ports (what you're trying to do) is that you need to mangle the destination IP rather than simply allow the traffic in. I manage my firewall through scripts, but this should give you the general idea of what you're looking to do: $IPTABLES -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp -m udp -d $i_eth0 --dport 7777 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.4 When a packet comes in and is destined for $i_eth0 (which is my outside interface) on port 7777, the "-j DNAT" option specifies that the destination should be changed to the "--to-destination" field, in this case "192.168.1.4". You mangle the destination to the host you want to forward the port to. As far as my setup is, which is pretty open on the internal side, I don't need any other rules for it to just work. For TCP, you should also only match on SYN packets, since state should take care of the rest of the mangling for any opened connections. I hope that helps.

OK, you made me install Banshee. I'm having a real hard time trying to figure out what it can do for me that Amarok can't do better? It's not that I dislike Banshee or anything, but so far it hasn't convinced me that Amarok isn't the best media player ever coded. Test1: Organizing a 227GB MP3 trash directory on an external USB HDD. Amarok: 8 minutes including album arrangements and cute cover pictures. Banshee: 22 minutes and things are organized like poo poo. Bonus points for Amarok: UI isn't ugly as gently caress and the playback quality to my ears is way better than anything else I've tried.

If mp3s sound better using different applications there is something wrong with your system or your ears. That being said, I gave banshee a shot and it choked on a bunch of files with "mpeg audio header not found". The import folder structure selection has a drop down list list with a few options, but no method of defining my own. It's itunes for linux I guess, but I'm going to need it to be more powerful to ditch a standalone ripper, tagger, player and burner.

My answer is still Amarok hands down.

I have a linux server setup with web administration pages for webmin, mythtv, soon to be torrents, and all sorts of other applications. I was wondering if it would be possible for me to whip up a start or homepage for my server. A single page that I can access that will have links to all the other pages. I move my server from home to school and what not due to being in college, so having the page being able to update the links to any IP changes would be great. I just want an initial page where I can mash buttons to get to the other admin pages without having to type in the IP each time. Thanks!

I honestly think AWN is the best dock on our platform, but I am about as biased as you can get. You can hop on irc some time and one of us in the #awn channel can give you a hand solving the problem. Other then the two main docks there is engage, gnome-dock(french revival), screenlets dock, and a few others.

I've got a question about lftp. I'm using it to upload backup files created by Duplicity to my webhost. I set up a cron job to run the backup program and the upload script nightly. My trouble is that lftp insists on overwriting the files on the server, which is a waste of everyone's bandwidth. I'd rather it only upload if the last modified times are different (or only upload if the file doesn't exist, I'm not exactly sure how Duplicity works). Is this possible to do with lftp? If not, is there another way to upload files from a cron job like this?

Yea the version in the ubuntu repositories was from the 0.2.x series. 0.3.x has a rewritten base windowlist/launcher applet which solves many issues with both bugs and speed. The applets in the 0.3.x series are better also. Luckily someone wrote preference windows for a few of my applets in 0.3.x, thus saving me the pain.

I doubt it, since tar wouldn't be able to know if you wanted "foo/filename" or "bar/filename" to be the file called "filename" in your flattened directory. Also, I can't find something like that either in the man page. But considering that "find" when run without any arguments gives you all files from this point and downward, you can most likely just write a really simple shell script or clever one-liner that takes every file starting from the current location and moves it somewhere else (avoiding the obvious loop that could occur, of course).

Alowishus posted:'lpadmin' at the CLI can do pretty much anything the web interface can do. But I'd be concerned about the web timeouts... CUPS' web server is built into the daemon, so if there are web problems I wouldn't be shocked to subsequently see printing problems too. I'd bump up logging and take a look at the error logs to see what's going on... Hell it looks like lpadmin doesn't even want to work. Has anyone ever used ebox, I saw it in Ubuntu's server guide and thought it looked interesting but I think that is causing me problems. I tried to uninstall it but it broke samba and few other things.

I apologize if this has been asked before (it's a very long thread), but has anyone got Flash working in Opera? I found about a bazillion solutions with Google, tried just about all of them, and nothing seems to work. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 (32-bit). I installed the flashplugin-nonfree package. It works perfectly in Firefox, but not in Opera. I edited ~/.opera/pluginpath.ini so Opera won't search for plugins anywhere other than /usr/lib/opera/plugins, where I placed the plugin. I started Opera with the debugplugin option, and it said it found the plugin and everything was dandy, and looking at the plugin options under preferences shows the plugin was found. However, when I view a page that uses Flash, there's just a white box where the Flash content should be. It's not a huge problem, but it's a loving pain to copy-paste a youtube link to Firefox every time I want to watch a video.

chryst posted:Use eth0:1, not eth0:0. IIRC, eth0:0 is the same interface as eth0, you've simply bound 2 IPs to it, rather than actually creating a new virtual IP. No, I'm pretty sure this is not true in the way you're thinking. To be pedantic (as you were about subnetting) eth0:x are all virtual interfaces with IPs for the same interface, eth0. In addition there's nothing wrong with eth0:0 in particular. Regardless I tried skipping to eth0:1 and it still uses eth0:1's IP address for traffic. quote:And just cause it's bugging me a little: What are you talking about? Of course subnetting matters, but not for my question. edit: Since my question is long since buried, I just want a way to force outgoing traffic through a specific IP. I would think it would use eth0, but in my case it seems to like to use the first virtual interface. I guess I could shuffle the IPs around so that the first virtual is .194 but that's a bit silly and I'd be interested to know if there is a more logical way.
